My View on the Nationwide Fever of Learning English
我对英语热的观点
In recent years, especially since China’s entry into the WTO, a “fever” of learning English is sweepingover the whole country. The learners are of different ages.Besides, for years, the language has become compulsory for students at different levels, from primary schools to institutions of higher learning. Some people think it is nothing but a fashion.
近些年,特别是自从中国进入世贸组织以来,英语热在全国兴起
As far as I am concerned, I think it is the trend of the times, rather than a fashion.First of all, peoplelearn English for different purposes. It seems that students have to learn English because it is a compulsory subject in the syllabus, and because they are required to pass various English examinations, such as CET-4, CET-6, TEM-4, etc., in order to gain diplomas and academic degrees. But the truth is that a skillfulmastery of the language at school can also provide them with a chance of getting better employment. It hasbecome a basic skill needed for various jobs and a practical tool for social communication. More and more people are learning English for practical use rather than taking examinations or just following the fashion. The fact that people’s purposes of learning English are diversified shows that the English language has become a social skill.
我认为这是时代的大趋势,而不是一种跟风
All in all, I think that learning English nowadays is not a fashion but a trend, a trend that people should not follow blindly, but with clear and specific purposes.If it is a “fever”, this fever will set up a new standard as for how the learning of English is perceived.
总之,我认为学习英语已经不是一种时尚,而是趋势,人们不能盲目跟随这种大趋势,而是要有明确的目的
。如果这是一种潮流,那么这种潮流将会为学习英语重新建立标准 。译文属可可英语原创,未经允许,不得转载 。
